How do you connect a shunt resistor to a DC circuit to measure current?
To measure the current in a DC circuit an ammeter may be used. This ammeter may consist of a sensitive meter with a shunt in parallel with it to divert part of the current. In case even more current is expected than the full scale reading of the meter an additional shunt may be connected in parallel with that arrangement.
What device is used to change the scale values of an AC ammeter?
A multimeter is used in which there is options for multirange measurement of Ac current or voltages and resistances and also DC voltages
To what scale should the ammeter be set in order to read a current of 2000ma?
2000ma is equal to 2 amps. Set you meter to a current range ABOVE 2 amps.
What is a DC ammeter and how does a DC ammeter work?
An ammeter is an instrument designed to measure electric current, which is expressed in amperes. A d.c. ammeter is one that will measure direct current (d.c.), as opposed to alternating current (a.c.). Ammeters are rarely used outside laboratories. Instead, multimeters are more commonly-used, and these will measure d.c. or a.c current and voltage, together with resistance. In other words, a multimeter functions as an ammeter, a voltmeter, and an ohmmeter. The principle of operation of a digital ammeter is too complicated to explain in this forum. An analogue ammeter works by a rotating coil to which is attached a pointer. The coil is balanced between two hairsprings and located between opposite faces of a permanent magnet. When current passes through the coil, the resulting magnetic field reacts with the permanent magnetic field, causing the coil to rotate, tightening the hairsprings. When the torque due to the current matches the opposing torque due to the hairsprings, the coil will stop turning. The position of the pointer on a scale will then indicate the current passing through the ammeter.
If you want to measure a current greater than the full scale deflection of the constructed ammeter in this case should the resistance in parallel with the galvanometer be increased or decreased?
A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.
What is the value of the smallest division on an ammeter scale?

What is the scale division of ammeter?
The scale division of an ammeter refers to the value each division represents on the scale of the meter. It is typically chosen based on the range and precision of the measurement required. For example, if an ammeter has a scale division of 0.1 A, each division on the scale represents 0.1 ampere.
How is a voltmeter visually different from an ammeter?
They can both be the same superficial size and have the same visual appearance as a "meter" but a voltmeter has its scale marked out in volts and an ammeter has its scale marked out in amps.

What is the least count of ammeter?
The least count of an ammeter refers to the smallest change in current that can be measured by the device. It is typically determined by the scale divisions on the display of the ammeter. For example, if an ammeter has a least count of 0.1 A, it means that it can detect changes in current as small as 0.1 ampere.
Why is it necessary to consider positive and negative terminals of the ammeter when you connect leads from it to the circuit?
When you are dealing with DC voltages polarity is very important. Inside the ammeter is a coil through which the circuit amperage flows. Inside this coil is connected a steel armature of the meter movement. The more current is applied through the coil, the more the steel of the meter movement is drawn into the coil and this in turn moves the needle on the face of the meter to move further up the scale. If the coil polarity is reversed the magnetic field in the coil is reversed and the steel armature is driven in reverse. So instead of the meter movement moving up the scale it is driven to the zero end of the meter scale and it hammers up against the stop pin on the scale face.
What is ammeter sensitivity?
Ammeter sensitivity can be determined by a change of scale for the ammeter which would introduce higher or lower resistance values depending on the reading required. A higher sensitivity for lower values of ampacity would require higher resistance in the measuring circuitry. Use Ohm's law to verify.
What best describes a converging circuit?
A converging circuit is a neural pathway where multiple presynaptic neurons synapse onto a single postsynaptic neuron. This type of circuit allows for integration of multiple inputs to influence and scale the output of the postsynaptic neuron. Converging circuits are common in sensory systems where information from different sensory modalities is combined to produce a coherent response.

What is the least count of an ammeter?
The least count of an ammeter is the smallest value of current that can be measured by the instrument. It is typically determined by the scale divisions marked on the device and is an important factor in accurately reading and interpreting the measured current values.
